Climate Change Worry in Slovenia: Associations with Sociodemographic Determinants and Mental Wellbeing

There are medium levels of climate change worry in a sample of adult residents of Slovenia. Climate change is perceived as a threat not only by young people, but also by older adults. Individuals with poor mental wellbeing, a risk of depression, or risky stress behaviour were more likely to report higher levels of climate change worry. Public health measures should reduce climate change worry by empowering vulnerable groups through environmental, group and community-based activities.

Abstract

There are medium levels of climate change worry in a sample of adult residents of Slovenia. Climate change is perceived as a threat not only by young people, but also by older adults. Individuals with poor mental wellbeing, a risk of depression, or risky stress behaviour were more likely to report higher levels of climate change worry. Public health measures should reduce climate change worry by empowering vulnerable groups through environmental, group and community-based activities.
